Karachi is in flames. Peshawar is in the grip of tears and terror. Quetta has become a killing field. Lahore has become an ideal place for kidnappers. No any provincial capital has witnessed such high profile kidnappings in broad daylight as Lahore in the recent past.
Furthermore, tribal clashes, honour killings in Sindh, Balochistan and Punjab and fake police encounters have alarmingly risen in number. Police has said ‘goodbye’ to policing but has played a pivotal role to criminalise the society. Only the other day, a school going teenage of Leghari family was brutally killed in Tari Mirwah town of Khairpur Mirs district. Besides this gruesome incident, the home district of CM and that of home minister Sindh have become notorious for tribal killings.
No doubt measures are being taken to control the lawlessness and crime but those cosmetic measures have not provided the desired results. Now the much-touted ‘surgical operation’ is in full swing in Karachi.
The anarchy is at doorstep. Our rulers must open their eyes. They must use their mind so as to save this country and the countrymen. The countries exist on the basis of economy and justice. If any country has no stable economy, if it has no easy and inexpensive justice, then it is asking for the moon to bring peace and progress in the country.
